Also, a recording of an old homeless man in London singing a fragment of a hymn tune in the 1970s packed an unexpected emotional punch when turned into a tape loop by Gavin Bryars.

Bach: Solace and InspirationAirs at 4pm on 105.9 FM WQXRImmediately after the attacks of September 11, 2001, WNYC began non-stop news coverage, keeping New Yorkers crucially informed from our studios just blocks from the World Trade Center. Like many, Producer/Host David Garland, was shaken by the attacks, which had at first swept aside the former significance of now apparently trivial things like art and music. But as the intense emergency of 9/11 subsided, Garland turned to the music of 18th Century German composer Johann Sebastian Bach. Moved by Bach's deep emotion, the beauty of Bach's musical logic, and the profound way Bach's music is able to express the truths and ideals of humanity, Garland created "Bach: Solace and Inspiration," to inaugurate WNYC's return to music programming on September 23, 2001. Through music and brief commentary, Garland and special guests convey the introspective and universal, heart-felt and uplifting marvels of Bach's work. Guests on the program include British conductor Sir John Elliot Gardiner, harpsichordist Arthur Haas, and Rick Ericson, Cantor of Holy Trinity Lutheran Church in New York City. Hester Furman, then Music Director of WNYC, helped produce the program. For this tenth anniversary of 9/11, David Garland has assembled highlights from "Bach: Solace and Inspiration."

Radio Rookies - Our 9/11: Growing Up In the AftermathAirs at 7pm on AM 820In their own words and with microphone in hand, six Radio Rookies from New York City, New Jersey and Long Island report on the ways that historic event affected them, their families, and their communities – then and now. ERIC’S older brother Paul worked in Tower 1 and he never made it home. JILLIAN lost her father, a New York City police officer. NORHAN suddenly found herself the target of other kids' animosity and fear because she is Muslim. BRENDAN and JOEY felt called to service, and plan to join the military and police force respectively. And ERIN, whose father was a New York City firefighter, spent the months after 9/11 attending funerals and watching her father struggle to recover from devastating injuries he sustained from falling debris. Produced by WNYC's Radio Rookies in partnership with the National September 11 Museum and Memorial.

Bach: Solace and InspirationAirs at 9:30pm on 93.9 FMImmediately after the attacks of September 11, 2001, WNYC began non-stop news coverage, keeping New Yorkers crucially informed from our studios just blocks from the World Trade Center. Like many, Producer/Host David Garland, was shaken by the attacks, which had at first swept aside the former significance of now apparently trivial things like art and music. But as the intense emergency of 9/11 subsided, Garland turned to the music of 18th Century German composer Johann Sebastian Bach. Moved by Bach's deep emotion, the beauty of Bach's musical logic, and the profound way Bach's music is able to express the truths and ideals of humanity, Garland created "Bach: Solace and Inspiration," to inaugurate WNYC's return to music programming on September 23, 2001. Through music and brief commentary, Garland and special guests convey the introspective and universal, heart-felt and uplifting marvels of Bach's work. Guests on the program include British conductor Sir John Elliot Gardiner, harpsichordist Arthur Haas, and Rick Ericson, Cantor of Holy Trinity Lutheran Church in New York City. Hester Furman, then Music Director of WNYC, helped produce the program. For this tenth anniversary of 9/11, David Garland has assembled highlights from "Bach: Solace and Inspiration."

I listened this morning 9/7 and couldn't turn Erin off, although I very much wished I could. Her story was so upsetting for so many reasons. My husband and 2 year old lived on the corner of west side hwy and chambers street that day and I remember looking out my window and the unbelievable site. I remember running uptown with my 2 year old and having no idea where my husband was and if he was alive, since he worked in the American stock exchange at the time. Listening today was heartbreaking. I wished I could have turned it off because I was driving and crying and it had a sad effect on my entire day. The part about the heartless teacher that made her sister standin front of the class....I hope she was reprimanded and maybe even fired. How could a person do that....like it was light fare for all the look and listen? These girls were living in NY no less, so this teacher couldn't really have been that ignorant.

Sadly because I know they will all be fascinating stories, I won't be able to listen any further. It's like opening a wound that I don't want to heal again. I am still healing. That day changed our lives and everyone else's so much. I know it's an anniversary, but I feel like it's a more private event than this. Listening today, and she was a great rookie reporter, was just oo hard to hear. I was upset all day and can't to it for another 4 days.
